I thought driving the Bentley until it blew a tyre was the ultimate in abuse and stupidity.

BUT, the Alfa Challenge was histerical ...... I was in stitches each time the Hamster banged into Mays rear whilst he was towing him ..... and then how he left him on the junction!!

I know it's all set up .... but, boy, was it funny!!!

Brilliant, what a laugh, sides still hurt

When's it repeated? This stuff should be reserved for those long winter evenings. I'm too busy tending the beasts at this time of year.

Does anyone else feel like buying an alfa or is it just me

I thought last week’s show wasn't too bad (actually done more reviewing car type stuff, or driving cars rather than dick'n about the whole time).

This week got a bit pathetic IMO. When James started coming out with "we were each given £1000 to ...... bla bla" I thought oh here we go and when the hamster wacked his door on may's car and kept bumping into him, I mean FFS - something new please!! Not to mention hamster trying to do his own "arty" camera work and drove through the camera I didn't see that coming!!!

They need to pick it up otherwise it will go downhill fast, if it's not already.

We all know it's staged but i could still sense James getting fcuked off with Hammond, if he did it once, it's mistake, twice is thaking the ****, i'd have left him too.

It makes for great t.v and very amusing if you dont like it then dont watch it....simple really.

stiscooby

I tend to watch it as a) not much else to do on a Sunday eve and b) sometimes it's alright.

Just IMO tonight’s episode wasn't the best.

scooby.kel

Yeah he kept smashing into the back of may but notice how he never did to clarkson. It was funny when may left him at the junction tho!!!

The Alfa piece was funny but ragging a £240.000.00 Bentley until the tyre burst ??????

Just stupid and pointless.

As much as I love the show, I've got a feeling they're running out of fresh ideas?
I know it's meant to be just amusing but the door dinging stunt makes me cringe. I fear parking in any car park because of the morons who don't give a sh**, and there's a peak time show virtually glamourising it!
I wonder what Bentley really thought of the 2megayear presenters antics?

But surley if you take that stance then the whole show is glamourising irresponsible behavour I wouldn't worry too much bout people starting to carry out door dinging cause "it was on Top Gear".

but any way i still love the show and look forward to it every week -- useless as a seriouse car show, but a great laugh imo!

Last night was also the first time my girlfriend watched it... and she was laughing her *** off and loved it! She's German so not sure she is a great fan of James May aka "The Weird One". Or "The Old One" aka Clarkson hahaha

oh and is it just me, but i LOVED the black alfa!!

GazTheHat

Bollocks missed it again, got distracted by the tennis.

iPlayer again it is then.

Hear, hear... having said that the episode where they made police cars did make me laugh!! Will still keep watching but using Sky+ to forward through the not so good bits..

Think its on friday 9pm BBC2. Better check though

mellinator

Is it just me or the celebrity in the reasonably priced car bit is crap.
I always fast forward that section.boring

ProdriveSTI

Yeah think they need to come up with a new idea now

Just watched the Bentley bit, agreed bit stupid really, but I would have done the same.

cster

But is it art?

WOW!!!!! Top Gear is awesome and you guys seem to be ripping it apart, Who here wouldn't love their jobs getting paid shedloads by the BBC to do what they do - I cant remember the last top gear which hasn't made me laugh, Even now i can sit and watch Dave (The channel) and watch top gear repeats i've seen again and again the show is great!!!

Nimbus

Repeated tonight at 7pm BBC 2.

The idea is still good, they just are getting rubbish guests.

If I have 10 minutes to spare I will switch on Dave and if I catch the feature some of the people were really funny: Hugh Grant, Kristin Scott Thomas (mmm ), Gordon Ramsey etc...

It's down to the guests though.

However, I would like them to use a RWD reasonably priced car (e.g. an MX5) so the difference between the better and worse drivers is more apparent.

And get all 3 of the presenters out to see which is fastest.

scooby L

Hugh Grant was quality (back on Dave again lol)

Golf ball...lmfao.... funny

fatherpierre

I watched Sunday's episode last night on iplayer.

I thought it was up there with the worst of them so far.

Unfunny, contrived dross. I went onto ebay about 35 mins into it and let the latter half of it drift by.

I dont think theres been a topgear ive not laughed at and i wouldnt watch again. i think its great, boys an toys what everyone of us wants to do and see. Mind the comic relief topgear ground force that was funny as ****. There are those who complain its not a proper car programme but have you ever watched 5th gear sometimes i cant be bothered watching it theres no fun in that programme. Sundays - racing at crail when its on, takeaway pizza and topgear

eClaire

Watched a repeat last night on Dave. They hypnotised Richard Hammond. There is no way that could have been staged!! Hilarious!

YouTube - Richard Hammond Hypnotised by Paul McKenna

I haven't seen that before! That was hilarious.
